| It took me a bit to get into this, but I'm awfully glad that I stuck with it. I was a bit flummoxed at first -- expecting a book about a cafe, and then it started with the main character working in a bookstore! I was a bit heartbroken thinking about having to give that up as I so love books about bookstores ... but the cafe ended up being part of the bookstore so Eeles redeemed herself in that matter. It never really became a book that I couldn't bear to be parted with, so it almost got three stars ... but Callie's grandfather, Stanley, is worth an extra star all on his own. I hope we see more of him in future visits/books! |
"First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros" is from the first paragraph or two of a book being read now (or in the future) and is hosted by I'd Rather Be At The Beach. "Teaser Tuesday" at The Purple Booker asks for a random line or two from anywhere in the book currently being read.
